Overview

While teaching a history of psychology class during the last several years, I identified the following resources for student use. Students can use these resources to prepare class presentations and historical research projects. Students have commented on how interesting history can be when they get to know the historical figures in a personal way.

The sources identified in this guide are not exclusive. They constitute those references I have located in and ordered for the university's library. I got the idea of submitting this list to ERIC/CAS after a colleague asked for suggestions to order for his college's library. His response to my list was so favorable I concluded that others might find the list as useful.

Two features of this listing should prove helpful to teachers, scholars, and students of the history of psychology. I have annotated many of the references. In addition, I have listed the names of the psychologists contained within most of the books. Such infonnation should facilitate retrieval
